Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
When the Frankfurt parliament convened in the Church of St Paul, women were admitted only as observers to stand in the visitors gallery.
Women were not entirely invisible in nineteenth-century nationalist struggles across Europe. These struggles involved a large number of women. The issue of granting women political rights was a contentious one within the liberal movement, in which many women had actively participated over the years. Women have formed their own political organisations, established newspapers, and participated in political meetings and demonstrations. Despite this, they were denied suffrage during the Assembly election. When the Frankfurt parliament met in the Church of St Paul, women were just allowed to stay in the visitors' gallery as observers. They even became symbols of the concepts of liberty and fraternity. Nonetheless, they were denied their rightful place in nationalist struggles.
